Surveillance Cameras In The Uptown Could Soon Be Reality

With repeated arson attempts, vandalism, and other issues at buildings throughout the city, city police are looking for better ways to remedy the ongoing issues.

Police Chief Bill Reid tells CHSJ News some areas including King Square could soon be outfitted with closed-circuit cameras to catch the culprits in the act.

Reid says it's not totally new--the police force has already installed cameras where there's an ongoing crime problem with the permission of the property owners.
